| 258 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} RmlO/R.19.5.37. WEIGHT ANALYSES. In preparing a Bentley weight analysis on the lines of the Oldsmobile, we have come up against a difficulty. Our photographical department is often too busy to take the necessary photographs. At these times, we have no alternative except to get someone from the Town to do this work at about 17/- a time. Our photographical requirements are likely to increase. We are letting you know the position in the hope that steps may be taken to increase the capacity of our photographical department. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
